ungleich GmbH 2021 7.0.0 Sep 11, 2024 CDIST-TYPE__UCI_SECTION(7)

This cdist type can be used to replace whole configuration sections in OpenWrt's Unified Configuration Interface (UCI) system. It can be thought of as syntactic sugar for cdist-type__uci(7), as this type will generate the required __uci objects to make the section contain exactly the options specified using --option. Since many default UCI sections are unnamed, this type allows to find the matching section by one of its options using the --match parameter. NOTE: Options already present on the target and not listed in --option or --list will be deleted.

list An option that is part of a list and should be present in the section (as part of a list). Lists with multiple options can be expressed by using the same <option> repeatedly. The value to this parameter is a <option>=<value> string. <value> does not need special quoting for UCI. The only requirement is that the value is passed to the type as a single shell argument. match Allows to find a section to "replace" through one of its parameters. The value to this parameter is a <option>=<value> string. option An option that should be present in the section. This parameter can be used multiple times to specify multiple options. The value to this parameter is a <option>=<value> string. <value> does not need special quoting for UCI.
